Philipse Manor Hall State Historic Site
Step back in time to the late 18th century! Join us for this free family-friendly outdoor festival with costumed reenactors and harvest-themed vendors. September was the time of year when tenant farmers on the Philipse Manor would harvest their wheat and start to bring it to the Philipse grist mills for assessment and grinding into flour. September was also apple harvest time in the Philipse orchards. Learn about grinding grain, pressing apples for cider, and other harvest time tasks. Visit local and historical vendors. Plus try your hand at historical games! Meet 18th century military and civilian reenactors, including General George Washington and his horse Nelson, members of Lord Dunmore's Ethiopian Regiment and the First Rhode Island Regiment, colonial era craftsmen, and more.

Celebrate the spooky season with this unique movie night! Join us in-person in the Gothic Chamber as we watch Tim Burton's "Sleepy Hollow"(1999). Based on the Washington Irving tale by the same name, "Sleepy Hollow" is set in 1799 New York where young police constable Ichabod Crane investigates a series of murders in the rural town of Sleepy Hollow. We'll hear from Philipse Manor Hall State Historic Site manager Michael Lord with commentary on what is and isn't accurate to Irving's story, the Hudson Valley's Dutch heritage, and the history of late 18th century New York. "Sleepy Hollow" is rated R and is not recommended for young audiences. This program is free and open to the public, but registration is recommended. Register by calling 914-965-4027 or emailing sarah.johnson@parks.ny.gov. Costumes are encouraged but not required.
